'''Rostherian''' /rɒʃˈtɛriən/ (''erhbaerostherim'' 'The Rostherian language') is a [[Talmic languages|Talmic language]] spoken in East Cuadhlabh. It is head-initial and polysynthetic.
'''Bjeheond''' comprises Australia and New Zealand. In 2025, Australia was occupied by an ecofascist state, the Bjeheondian Commons (Anbirese: ''Bjeheond Geozhalli''), and New Zealand was a liberal democratic country which we call Philopolis in English.

==Phonology==
Among Talmic languages, Rostherian is notable for having retroflex consonants and multiple liquids.

==Morphology==
===Nouns===
Nouns are marked with a singular-plural distinction, and may also take possessive suffixes. However, the lemma form of a noun is typically its combining form, which is the incorporated form of a noun and is also used to form possessed forms and compounds. The Proto-Talmic grammatical gender was lost; pronouns and gender verb affixes no longer mark grammatical gender, but natural gender (as in [[Naquian]]).
 
Nouns may end in a consonant, ''i'', ''e'' or ''u''.
 
The plural form is inherited from the Proto-Talmic reduplicated collective; some irregularities may be present due to the preservation of the original single consonant in the reduplicant (as opposed to the cluster which interacted to produce new consonants and clusters in the stem)
